Doki Doki Panic!

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 3 points 7 months ago (4 children)

From what ive read, doki doki panic was a seperate game and was reskinned to become what the western world got as super mario bros 2. Japan had a different super mario bros 2 game that was built using the original game engine.

One key difference was that in the western version mario picked up and threw enemies but in the japan game mario jumped on enemiea like in the original.

Oh no way, I didn't know that. When you said you wanted to try the Japanese Super Mario 2, I thought you were just referring to Doki Doki Panic.

Now I really want to play the Japanese Super Mario 2 as well.

The Japanese Mario 2 was released outside of Japan on the Super Nintendo in the Super Mario All-Stars game. It's known as "Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels" on that cartridge.

It's also tbh very much just "Super Mario Bros but more" in terms of well... Everything. If you like SMB1 and want new levels, play SMB2 Lost Levels.

Oh I played that a lot as a kid. I always wondered why it was called The Lost Levels
